Mike your image is all the more valuable for having been captured on the very day before opposition; how often does one get a shot at opposition in that kind of seeing on the East Coast in the winter?

I have a question. What would have happened if you had captured a single 16.5 minute AVI file and derotated that in WinJupos rather than capturing 11 individual 1.5 minute files and derotating them? I seem to remember someone say that one shouldn't go over a 9 minute capture but I can't remember why.

I honestly don't know. I learned the 'sub' RGB trick from Chris Go. In my own rational mind, I wouldn't want to put all my capture eggs into larger avi and then risk loosing it.

Fantastic image, Mike. The detail on Ganymede is really spectacular. I'm looking forward to the videos. Hey, where are all the images from the East Coast on Jan 4? I figured everyone would be out that night, but I've only seen a few images here and on the Alpo list.

Pete - you can also do the long video technique. I derotate 5 minute SERs in WinJupos. The derotation takes a long time, but I think the results are worth it. Plus it makes it possible to let Firecapture image all night while I sleep. I take one RGB set every 20-30 minutes.
